The only way for us to improve, especially now that we are faced with challenges, such as the online mode of teaching, the internationalization, and other pressing issues is to undergo evaluation,” he added. He was also grateful to them saying “To all the accreditors, I salute all of you and thank you very much.” Concluding his speech was the acknowledgment of the task force for their efforts in accommodating the accreditors and preparing the documents.
